So apparently you cannot disable the obnoxious camera shutter sound, even in the USA. Even with the phone volume muted. I know that some countries like China don't allow this, but here in the USA and other countries it should be an option. Here's the thing, I actually found the option in TWO locations in the camera app, but toggling it does NOTHING. If you go into MACRO mode and then select the setting gear in the top right, you'll see a menu that has a "Shutter Tone" toggle. You can toggle it but it does nothing. ANNOYING!

Hi
Can anyone confirm the following.
The notification and ringer volumes are linked. Now when I set the ringer volume to level 1 and choose a ringtone and notification in Settings->Sound, they both play at a soft volume. If I then receive a WhatsApp, Gmail, etc the notification is loud, a lot louder than when I selected in the settings. The ringer volume is still soft though.
I then tried to troubleshoot. If I increase the ringer volume, the ringer and notifications get louder as they should, except the notification get MORE louder. Its would seem that notification is honoring the volume level, but notifications have been amplified before being played. Even playing a sound via Lightflow or Tasker results in this extremely high volume.
Can anybody confirm this odd occurrence I am experiencing.
I have the same problem too.. Let's just hope that in the next update we will get a separate notification volume slider
yes, confirmed. This annoying bug is there from the very beginning.

OK, I found a pretty good work around.
I only use 3 notifications sounds, so I copied the three ogg files from my previous rooted phone onto my PC. You will likely need root access to copy from the Huawei, so you could probably just Google your notification sounds and download them.
I then downloaded Audacity from http://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html so that I could lower the volume of the sound files. You can merely drag-drop the file into Audacity from Explorer, and it will open a wave representation. On the left of the wave is a -/+ slider where you can change the clip volume. I reduced my files by -20db, but you could choose you own negative value. I then saved the files. During the save process a dialog will come up where you can set some meta info like a title. I added -20 after the title so that when the phone lists the sounds, you will know which one is yours. I then copied them into the /notifications folder on my phone, or even add into draft gmail which you can then access on your phone and then save into /notifications. When you go to your app or settings to choose a notification sounds, you will see the original and the "new" sound in your list like below, hence why you need to add the -20 behind it.

When you choose the default notification sound in settings, it will sound very soft. But when it actually plays for a notification, it will be close to the same ringer volume. It will also get louder when the ringer volume increases as well :good:

Ehi guys!
i'm trying to switch off vibration on notifications (i don't mind about calls) based on condition, because i really can't stand my phone vibrating while laying in my table at work.
I've tried 2 solution, activate vibration only while in my pocket or while connected to certain wifi.. i have no problem with the triggers but i'm not able to actually toggle off and on the vibration..
i've tried both this script https://forum.xda-developers.com/u/t...asker-t3345309 or the tasker plugin "sound mode" but they both toggle do not disturb mode, not the vibration..
i just want to:
1. vibration off + volume on while on the table
2. vibration on + volume on while on my pocket
Any help?
Thanks!!
I don't think this is possible with Tasker. My guess is, you will have to disable vibration on a system level - driver for example.
Thanks a lot for your reply! Can you be a bit more specific on your solution? I'm not sure I get it
I think it is only possible if you can find the driver file for vibration and make change there.
Some applications, like Viber, vibrate furiously in all situations and users have little control over it. My solution is Xposed and GravityBox, both of which are mostly not tasker-able.
Actually I've noticed that if I block a notification in AutoNotification, then recreate it in Tasker, the vibration doesn't go off. If you don't want to block the app's notifications on a system level, it's a good workaround.
You can also just turn vibration system wide with the Vibrate action (should be in Audio).
thanks guys, i'll give it a try
It's hard to understand why there is no LED on the Nokia 8, not necessarily a color one like on my trusty Lenovo P2, even a white one would do the trick for notifications...
Anyway I don't like audio on notifications so I was hoping to have the phone vibrate but that doesn't seem possible, am I missing something ? Thanks for any help !
Just turn Notification/Phone ring Volume to 0 should be vibration only

That would also mute phone rings, which I doubt OP wants.
@webvan You can manually turn of notification sounds for each app by long-pressing an app icon and tap: App Info -> App notifications -> Messages -> Sound -> None.
Thanks, yes I'd still like the phone to ring !
Will try the app by app setting.
ok so I tried that method and you can indeed dig into the notifications and when they are set to a high or above importance you can activate "vibrate" and deactivate "sounds". Thanks !

Seems crazy that 10 years into Android development there is no option to only make your phone vibrate when a notification arrives instead of making a sound !

May I ask what apps you are trying to turn off sound notifications? For Instant Messaging apps like Viber, Signal, Telegram, etc. I can easily turn the sound notification OFF and leave the vibration option ON. Some apps don't have those options simply because they don't send and/or display notifications.
It's strange to hear you can't do that. Try exploring all the options around the Notification Settings in each app.
Oops, had edited my message in the meantime! Yes I found that the trick is to set importance of the notification to high or above to get control of the sound+vibration settings. All good now!
For galaxy S10, do you have any problem with LINE messenger call not respecting the phone volume setting?
Set Volume Setting to Silent
Use another phone to call via LINE messenger
Expect the phone (s10) to be silent without any ringing sound
But the phone is ringing (which i think it use the call volume) and the call volume cannot be decrease to zero which is annoying right now
Not sure if it is because of S10 only or because of Android Pie itself.

Maybe it's the app itself. How you looked in settings at the app's notification settings.
I'm not familiar with LINE messenger but I assume it's a 3rd party app, then setting the ringtone sound setting may not affect it. Try seeing if it's coming through as media, notifications, or system. Screenshot attached for reference.

I tried this on my Galaxy S8+ (Android P). There is no problem. The app respect the phone voice setting properly. Silent or Vibrate.
I noticed 1 thing. When you call your S10 phone, (while it is ringing, do not pick it up) try to adjust your voice volume (press volume button). You cannot decrease voice volume to 0 on S10 but you can on S8+.

Thanks, I think it using the In-Call Volume. Not these volumes (Ringtone, Media, Notification, System) and the In-Call volume you cannot decrease it to 0 on S10.
Just got the Galaxy 210 Ultra, however I'm really missing the quick silent / vibrate feature on my pixel 4 XL. It's been a while since I've been using a Samsung phone, did they implement any feature that allows you to put your phone on silent while the screen is still off?
Putting the phone face down also is not an option for me since I don't want the phone to be completely silent.
Don't know about Q and 11 but there's options in notifications and Do Not Disturb on my 10+ Pie variant... it should be there, somewhere.
I just add the tile in the quick settings
What I just found out also is you can go into accessibility then advanced settings and set up shortcuts to mute all sounds with volume up and down keys
I use the sideActions app amd set double click on the power button to change sound mode. Works great.
